The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" is a 1994 book written by G. Edward Griffin
The Secret Meeting: The book highlights a secret, week-long meeting held in November 1910 at the Jekyll Island Club off the coast of Georgia.
Participants: Key figures in American finance and government attended, including Senator Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Frank Vanderlip, Henry Davidson, Charles Norton, and Paul Warburg.
The Goal: The group met to design a central banking system in the aftermath of the Panic of 1907. Griffin argues they sought to create a cartel to control the money supply and create inflation for profit.
Banking Cartel: Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve acts as a cartel (the "Creature") that protects large banks from competition, creates inflation, and leads to boom-bust cycles.

I think it's a good starter video for normies.
Edit: it's about 1:47, so kind of long, but well worth it.
